Question

8. A student found the mass of an object to be 26.5 g. To find the volume, the student submerged the object in a graduated cylinder of water. Submerging the object

in the water in the graduated cylinder increased the water level by 24.1 mL. The density of the object is
A. 0.909 g/mL.
B. 1.10 g/ml..
C.1.1 g/mL.
D. 1.0906 g/mL.

Answer 1

Answer: The density of the object is 1.10 g/ml

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the mass of water, we use the equation:

`\text{Density of substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of substance}}{\text{Volume of substance}}`

Density of object = ?

Mass of object = 26.5 g

Volume of object = volume of water displaced = 24.1 ml

Putting values in above equation, we get:

`Density=(26.5g)/(24.1ml)=1.10g/ml`

Thus density of the object is 1.10 g/ml
